Multiround Unconditionally Secure Authentication

Authentication codes are used to protect communication against a malicious adversary. In this paper we investigate unconditionally secure multiround authentication schemes. In a multiround scheme a message is authenticated by passing back and forth several codewords between the sender and receiver. We define a multiround authentication model and show how to calculate the probability of a successful attack for this model. We prove the security for a 3-round scheme and give a construction for the 3-round scheme based on Reed-Solomom codes. This construction has a very small key size for even extremely large messages. Furthermore, a secure scheme for an arbitrary number of rounds is given. We give a new upper bound for the keys size of an n-round scheme.     

Providing Anonymity in Unconditionally Secure Secret Sharing Schemes

We discuss the concept of anonymity in an unconditionally secure secret sharing scheme, proposing several types of anonymity and situations in which they might arise. We present a foundational framework and provide a range of general constructions of unconditionally secure secret sharing schemes offering various degrees of anonymity.     

Quasideterminant Characterization of MDS Group Codes over Abelian Groups

A group code defined over a group G is a subset of Gⁿ which forms a group under componentwise group operation. The well known matrix characterization of MDS (Maximum Distance Separable) linear codes over finite fields is generalized to MDS group codes over abelian groups, using the notion of quasideterminants defined for matrices over non-commutative rings.     

On Some Methods for Unconditionally Secure Key Distribution and Broadcast Encryption

This paper provides an exposition of methods by which a trusted authority can distribute keys and/or broadcast a message over a network, so that each member of a privileged subset of users can compute a specified key or decrypt the broadcast message. Moreover, this is done in such a way that no coalition is able to recover any information on a key or broadcast message they are not supposed to know. The problems are studied using the tools of information theory, so the security provided is unconditional (i.e., not based on any computational assumption).We begin by surveying some useful schemes for key distribution that have been presented in the literature, giving background and examples (but not too many proofs). In particular, we look more closely at the attractive concept of key distribution patterns, and present a new method for making these schemes more efficient through the use of resilient functions. Then we present a general approach to the construction of broadcast schemes that combines key predistribution schemes with secret sharing schemes. We discuss the Fiat-Naor Broadcast Scheme, as well as other, new schemes that can be constructed using this approach.

Secure multi-party computation made simple

Known secure multi-party computation protocols are quite complex, involving non-trivial mathematical structures and sub-protocols. The purpose of this paper is to present a very simple approach to secure multi-party computation with straight-forward security proofs. This approach naturally yields protocols secure for mixed (active and passive) corruption and general (as opposed to threshold) adversary structures, confirming the previously proved tight bounds in a simpler framework. Due to their simplicity, the described protocols are well-suited for didactic purposes, which is a main goal of this paper.     

Combinatorial Classification of Optimal Authentication Codes with Arbitration

Unconditionallysecure authentication codes with arbitration ( A ²-codes)protect against deceptions from the transmitter and the receiveras well as that from the opponent. We first show that an optimalA ²-code implies an orthogonal array and an affine-resolvable design. Next we define a new design,an affine -resolvable + BIBD,and prove that optimal A ²-codes are equivalentto this new design. From this equivalence, we derive a conditionon the parameters for the existence of optimal A ²-codes.Further, we show tighter lower bounds on the size of keys thanbefore for large sizes of source states which can be consideredas an extension of the bounds on the related designs.     

Three Constructions of Authentication Codes with Perfect Secrecy

In this paper, we present three algebraic constructions of authentication codes with secrecy. The first and the third class are optimal. Some of the codes in the second class are optimal, and others in the second class are asymptotically optimal. All authentication codes in the three classes provide perfect secrecy.     

How to Build Robust Shared Control Systems

Previous researchers have designed shared control schemes with a view to minimising the likelihood that participants will conspire to perform an unauthorised act. But, human nature being what it is, systems inevitably fail; so shared control schemes should also be designed so that the police can identify conspirators after the fact. This requirement leads us to search for schemes with sparse access structures. We show how this can be done using ideas from coding theory. In particular, secret sharing schemes based on geometric codes whose dual [n,k,d] codes have d and n as their only nonzero weights are suitable. We determine their access structures and analyse their properties. We have found almost all of them, and established some relations among codes, designs and secret-sharing schemes.

XOR-based Visual Cryptography Schemes

A recent publication introduced a Visual Crypto (VC) system, based on the polarisation of light. This VC system has goodresolution, contrast and colour properties.Mathematically, the VC system is described by the XOR operation (modulo two addition). In this paper we investigate Threshold Visual Secret Sharing schemes associated to XOR-based VC systems. Firstly, we show that n out of n schemes with optimal resolution and contrast exist, and that (2,n) schemes are equivalent to binary codes. It turns out that these schemes have much better resolution than their OR-based counterparts. Secondly, we provide two explicit constructions for general k out of n schemes. Finally, we derive bounds on the contrast and resolution of XOR-based schemes. It follows from these bounds that for k<n, the contrast is strictly smaller than one. Moreover, the bounds imply that XOR-based k out of n schemes for even k are fundamentally different from those for odd k.AMS Classification: 94A60

Let Fq be a finite field. In this paper, a construction of Cartesian au-thentication codes from the normal form of a class of nilpotent matrices over the field Fq is presented. Moreover, assume that the encoding rules are chosen according to a uniform probability distribution, the probabilities PI and PS, of a successful im-personation attack and of a successful substitution attack respectively, of these codes are also computed.     

Cheating in Visual Cryptography

A secret sharing scheme allows a secret to be shared among a set of participants, P, such that only authorized subsets of P can recover the secret, but any unauthorized subset cannot recover the secret. In 1995, Naor and Shamir proposed a variant of secret sharing, called visual cryptography, where the shares given to participants are xeroxed onto transparencies. If X is an authorized subset of P, then the participants in X can visually recover the secret image by stacking their transparencies together without performing any computation. In this paper, we address the issue of cheating by dishonest participants, called cheaters, in visual cryptography. The experimental results demonstrate that cheating is possible when the cheaters form a coalition in order to deceive honest participants. We also propose two simple cheating prevention visual cryptographic schemes.

Constructions and Properties of k out of n Visual Secret Sharing Schemes

The idea of visual k out of n secret sharing schemes was introduced in Naor. Explicit constructions for k = 2 and k = n can be found there. For general k out of n schemes bounds have been described.Here, two general k out of n constructions are presented. Their parameters are related to those of maximum size arcs or MDS codes. Further, results on the structure of k out of n schemes, such as bounds on their parameters, are obtained. Finally, the notion of coloured visual secret sharing schemes is introduced and a general construction is given.
